How Camera Phones Will Save the Photo World
Eric Lin for TheFeature.com has written an insightful article on one trade group who is welcoming cameraphones with open arms.
Excerpts:
"Guy Kewney took a trip to PaperWorld, the trade show for office and stationary goods of all places, and found that the analog world couldn't be more excited about digital photography, especially cameraphones, generated by the new print stations from Kodak and others that seem to be popping up at stores and tourist attractions everywhere.
"Once these cameraphones get into the hands of people who don't own computers or printers or digital picture frames, they will need a way to save the snapshots worth keeping. And this is the sector that has the paper industry (as well as film processing giants like Kodak) genuinely excited.
Whether cameras improve or standards are lowered - the industry has heard the complaints from Digerati that the cameras in phones or other devices aren't good enough to print as picture - , people will need a way to save the pictures stored in our phones, and the photo paper industry is looking forward to that day".
